Oh No! She didn't close the portals in time!
Oh No! She's tiring out!
OH NO! They merged into a Dark avatar!
How is she going to defeat him when their powers are equal (and he's better with the spiritual stuff)?!
OH ****!!! He Sucked Raava Out of Her!
Now she's powerless!
NOOOOOOO! He's killing Raava! Korra can't move!
YEEEEESSSS! Return of the Aang-Cosmic-Thing! Korra has wholly realized her spiritual side!
SPIRIT BATTLE! Korra for the Win!

Hi! This was a wonderful and insightful article on one of the best animated shows to air on television. I'm a fellow Jamaican and Korra fan, and it's great to know more about an accomplished writer such as yourself. Your book seems very interesting. Is it available in Jamaican stores by any chance?

I'm 22, and started watching while season one of Last Air Bender was originally airing. I saw it wihile babysitting a younger cousin, and I think I liked it more than he did . I have now seen that series many times over . Thanks netflix, also I will say I like watching a series as many episodes as I can cram into a viewing session and the next day doing it over again. I did that with HOC and rewatching my favorite series like The Sopranos and The Wire etc. And of course Air Bender . I know many my age and younger like my brother who is 18 and obviously kids in elementary school like your children can all enjoy this Avatar universe . I know there was a screening at my school, Hampshire College, of this seasons premier.

Season 2 of Air Bender clearly embraced their surprisingly older demographic, an great example is the episode where Sokka drinks cactus juice and has a psychedelic experience in the desert. Other great humor continued through out the series. The older aged characters in Korra show the continuation of the trend to target an older viewer.

The main differences between the two series that i see is Aang took 3 seasons before fighting the fire lord . And withing those three seasons there was time for so many great moments , some highlights like the play on fFire Island or the short story episode including the beautiful and moving tribute to Mako Iwamatsu. Iroh was never the same but his appearance in the spirit work in this season of Korra brought tears to my eyes. But Korras first season was rushed, and faster paced just like the world it took place in. Korras character was born bending water fire and earth and only had to learn air. She used a move Aang learned from the lion turtle and took the bending and in one season she had beat her main opponent. Their were no side plot episodes no adventures really. This season had to move forward but they went to the spirit world which they knew would interest all the fans. The wonderful animation of Wan the first avatar ever was a highlight and the severance of the connection to her past avatar lives gave me goose bumps . Strangely the deep emotional connection that I had with the first show that had somewhat been lost or distorted by the first season of Korra came through during this season. I felt connected to Korra but the emotion seemed to be rooted deep in my relationship with the Last Air Bender. However I will say this, while they answered big questions fans had from Air Bender, some of the answers seem inconsistent with Avatar even with their given explanations . This last episode seemed almost to epic to be happening, why if Korra was seemingly not that connected to the spirits is she the one who ends up ushering in a new age, in one season, she was able to become a huge giant spirit and defeating a giant evil avatar in one season.. She went into the cosmos but was able to connect with her spirit easily not like Aang who had to open his chakras and couldn't ,also in his version that was the avatar spirit but in Korras story rava had been destroyed already, . Why didn't the tree return the memories of the past avatars ? She saw Wan..and also will the avatar after her, have her momories?..Also where is Vaatu now that he's not trapped in the tree but just disolved.? Seems like she learns to fast and it's become less about the journey...but maybe all that will Change

Overall I love Korra and this season made me cry, laugh, and have goose bumps , literally. But I think that I will always have the greatest love for Aang and the gang, especially for the episodes with Mako as Iroh. But because of that I believe I will like any story in this universe. I think that pre Korra and even pre Aang, both during and before the 100 year war, would offer lots of material for great series spin offs. I used to think stories about Iroh would have been great or any past avatars . Even short stories from random characters during the hundred year war. Both character we know and infinite unknown characters can provide great opportunities for untold stories .

Great series. Thanks . TS

I loved this season. Somehow it was deeper than even the Last Airbender. I knew that since Korra was almost a fully realized Avatar at the end of season one, that there would have to be an enemy that was really powerful. I guess next season, she will have to face someone from off-planet. I also want to see some elements from Asian culture. I don't recall any mention of the martial arts, even though that's what they use to bend the elements. Oh, there was the Sokka training thing...

This season was epic! I thought the world was going to end with darkness, but i'm glad it didn't. I can't wait for the next season. My question is, will she ever retain the connection to the other avatar or will this be just another new beginning. guess that's why they call the next book CHANGE.

Greatest story and show ever. There is so much source material to explore. I'd like to see stories of Aang growing up and his adventures. Please keep making these shows! I'm a 36 year old man and share the Avatar experience with my 8 year old daughter. BTW I need the Last Airbender series on Bluray. Bravo for a great season and the best story telling of any show that's ever been on TV.

I absoulutly LOVE this show it's AMAZING!!! The finale was EPIC!!!
Also Korra seems to be more alone, I mean she broke off with Mako 'forever', and she no longer has her past lives to guide her, maybe the third season change is, not only because the world has changed and the world will have to adjust to spirits everywhere, but also because Korra's now in my opinion, alone and probably lonely and during her lonilness she'll change?

Man, I thought Korra was going to die. Then I remembered I was watching a Nick show, not an anime lol. :p She better regain her connection to the other avatars. . .I LOVE the world of Avatar, but Korra is starting to piss me off. There's just so much changing while she's the avatar. . . Overwhelming.

LOL
RANT TIME...

Season Two Episode 14. What happened? (Seriously, She did what?)
Are we stealing Ideas From DBZ? (Bryan, Michael)

Since the 'motion picture' 'The Avatar' franchise has lost ground with fans.

(I hope you are 'really' reading)

Nothing beats Book 2 Earth. (Witness the full stop)
The layers were there. (Observation)

The ending to THIS season IS Garbage. (.)

The best idea from the bubbling pot that IS but some how LOST the plot in the Korra season 2 finale is the presence of the spirit world in the physical world and its good and bad effect and pressure put on the population, not the views and stand points of main characters.

Any good fight scenes? (We all witnessed the LOL)

TO PICK UP PACE....

RE DO The motion picture. Not the parallel smurf action flick.
( I hope you were reading )
Compress trilogy, to comprise of two books per picture.

Boy trapped in iceberg freed by star crossed love, grows and frees the world. ( Or just ba-sing se.)

If you can't get that film approved your a ducebag.
The Avatar production teams needs a Varrick to spur things on.

A Blind girl protected from the outside world by her parents in the upper society of ba-sing se, learns to use her earth-bending abilities in her few hours she is outside a day, to sense vibrations of the earth beneath her to see her surroundings.

Writing like that is what we expect.nothing less.

What in the last two seasons compares to the scene where Toph was kidnapped and locked in a metal box on the back of a wagon with no sight and no connection to the ground, became the first metal bender.

The story of the first blood bender imprisoned by the dictators of the fire nation, with nothing but the rats she was imprisoned with learnt to bend the water in blood to secure her freedom.

The best thing about the transition to the future (Korra Saga) is the politics of the new age, the fact that Aang lived a full life and the presence of his legacy in this new age. The advancements of technology and the adaptations of the world population due to his legacy and the characters of the time.

I personally really like the pro-bendng championship but the fire ferrets is not a cool name. Chi blockers. Cool.

The introduction states Earth. Fire. Air. Water.

My conclusion is Book Air was a lose avatar remake to please fans and push for more motions pictures when a simple motion picture redo is needed.

Spirits tries to please fans more. Ario. But falls short of the layers of intricacy needed to form a leading character. Even now I doubt the new Team Avatar can, in an opening scene, ride into a fortified ba sing sa military compound, outnumbered and out gunned, fend off the occupying army untill face to face with the president himself.

RANT..
OVER...

Or is it....

I absolutely agree with you Foop. I feel the same way. I pray that Korra eventually reconnects with her past lifetimes. It's just no point in continuing to watch without that still being a staple in the series... ~_~'

I do not watch "Korra" for Korra.

I watch it for the world of Avatar.

Korra has does nothing but piss me off in both of her books- I genuinely dislike her. The only thing of value she has done as Avatar is to leave those Spirit Portals open. That's it.

Throughout both books, she never won, she never beat anybody (at least not through her own power). For the duration of both books, she loses, loses, loses some more, and then in the final fight loses again(loses bending, loses Raava, gets knocked the f--- out), but the villain is stopped on some absurd technicality(killed by brother, stunned(?) by Jinora), and then something good happens so that the story isn't too-too depressing(regains bending through fluke,decides to leave spirit portal open and announces father as tribe leader).

Do not get me wrong- I am quite thoroughly enjoying the continuing and expanding universe of Avatar. BUT - I do not like Korra. She's an arrogant asshole, and she's a loser.

*SPOILERS*

Does anyone else realize that since Korra destroyed Vaatu, and then re-fused with Raava, that eventually Vaatu will re-emerge from within Raava, and Korra will be the Avatar of both spirits? This is a really interesting turn of events, as Korra will have to learn to balance both spirits instead of locking one away inside of a tree for ten thousand years.

i couldn't agree more with hisrealface. I absolutely love the avatar universe and for that reason I find myself in love with the show. I will always lean toward the last airbender because I love love love the story and character development. however korra is my least favorite avatar ever! I just kept waiting for her to be the avatar I wished she would be, but to no avail she did not make me feel that way. no wait I take that back at the end of book 1 I almost felt excited about her but it slipped away rather quickly. Having seen the wan storyline I would have much rather they done a prequel to last airbender then a sequel. Korra really disappointed me in the last two episodes of book 2 hopefully she can bring it back to a good place in book3 but im not going to hold my breath. I will however still watch because like I said I love the avatar world and something is better then nothing. work out he kinks brian and mike that would be great....make korra the avatar I know she can be. if only she tapped into the past avatars and learned something instead of thinking she knows everything on her own. btw wan is just so much more interesting 3 books about his journey would have been AMAZING!!!

hello creators, writers, artistes of this show. I applaud you for the creativity and thought process that goes into this show. I am 21 years old and this show still makes me cry. I feel like I have been apart of the show from the very beginnings, from the last Air Bender to now. This world is so beautiful I wish I lived there. I will never stop watching this show. That is a promise. Please keep writing more, keep thinking of all these beautiful ideas. one day many movie makers and writers will come to you for advise. only for one fact that you of many are the leaders of these ideas. Never stop, never fail.

very good quotes you brought out. although one thing kind of bothers me about what the writers are planning on doing. they seem to plan on getting rid of Korra' s love life in the series. i say bad move. not only will they get rid of a deep point that made Korra come to life with the emotions that showed her personality. They will also alienate the fans that like seeing that aspect of her on the basis of just a few fans that don't like that particular aspect of the show. If they were to take out her love life i think they will lose fan base from the fans that enjoy seeing that particular aspect of Korra but if they leave it in those fans that dont care for her love life will just continue watching the show anyway. I think losing this aspect of Korra will make the show a lot more shallow.

I think this character was great. and although i did want her to become the avatar i thought she should be, i loved the way she turned out. u can't try to be something your not and u cant always control the outcome and u must think on your feet. she is an inspiration, a true testament to the spirit of women. I almost cried several times. I can't wait till this next season comes out. this has been my favorite nick show and im 23!! i hope yall dont get rid of her love life too. I like to see that side of her and its the main part of being human.
